Thursday June 2nd is
the last day, and on our way to the airport in Düsseldorf we
stopped at Rheydt (just south of Mönchengladbach) for some
railfanning. First train was this ore train heading south. These trains
are in a European context quite heavy, some 4000-6000 metric tons.
They're run with 6-axle hoppers with automatic couplers. And in Germany
with 2 powerful 151-electrics. In the Netherlands with 3-4 smaller
diesels.
